GDI+ Resetting origin

I'm trying to create a visual aid program to mimic a VIPP layout. In VB.NET
the screen origin (0,0) is the top left hand corner of the screen. Is there a
way to reset the origin to the bottom left hand corner?

What I would like to do is place a frame on the form. The frame will
represent the "Paper" and the paper's origin will be at the bottom left hand
corner (0,0). I will help resetting the origin inside the frame also.

I know that's an old dirty issue; GDI+ almost -the slowest part of the framework - has bothered many developers using it in animations. Even in managed C++ the performance is awful. Now, any dude out there does know any thing about this issue in VS 2005 + ..NET 2.0 ? Has Microsoft solved this performance problem, or we will have to again...

Could someone explain how this works. I think the graphics card is used to do blitting and drawing shapes like rectangles. How does it draw using the Graphics card on the PC and why is this feature left out of GDI+?. *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

I want to create a scrollable window using GDI+ where the origin is located in the bottom-left corner rather than the default top-left corner. Currently I have found several examples on how to scroll the window and even how to set the drawing origin at the bottom-left corner. What I have not been able to accomplish is doing both of these...

We create VC++ programs that does some GDI drawing functionality. I discovered GDI+ and this seems to be a big step forward, and appears to be standard available in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. But since .NET also uses it, does that mean that it gets automatically installed when I install a .NET framework on a Windows 2000?

Hello, Do you think it is legitimate practice to mix GDI+ and GDI calls (via Get/ReleaseHDC()) in paint event of a control? I've heard there is possibility of performance loss while "locking" Graphics object which is done as a side-effect to GetHDC() call - could you confirm? Another question that comes to my mind when planning mentioned...
